What’s New? – Negative Cutters

So last time I posted something worth reading it was a run-down of what I had been doing for the previous month.  I’m hoping, cross my fingers, that August does not turn out the same way, but I did do something interesting the past few days and I’d like to share that with you.  I [...]

Pops

By Josh Trota My introduction piece was all about me and my issues, but I didn’t really delve into the man my father was and the reason(s) why it was so hard to lose him.  When you have two awesome parents like I do, they become more than just guardians.  My mom and dad raised [...]

Summer Fling

By: Justine Campbell Living in New York, I’ve learned to value every minute, every encounter, and every moment. A moment is one of the most unique measures of time because it is based on feeling. I’ve met and dated a lot of good looking men in New York and while a lot of my relationships [...]

Lost & Found: Part 1
